MY PHILOSOPHY & MISSIONMy parents competed against everyone in their ____________________________________________________________________. I am competing against everyone in my age group in the ____________________________________________________________.
The value of my college degree will be based on what I do between ___________________________________________________ and ________________________________________________________, not just the fact that I got an expensive piece of paper.
My school’s 1st year student retention rate is ___________%. Our 4-year graduation rate is _________%. And our 6-year
graduation rate is ___________%.
Given that my annual tuition and cost of living of is $______________________, college is costing me $___________ per minute.
Having book smarts and street smarts is the real world’s _________________________________ ___________________________.
It doesn’t matter what school you go to. What matters is __________________________ school.
The Other 4.0 that really matters in college and life:
1. __________________________ capital = ________________________________ I know myself
2. __________________________ capital = ________________________________ I know
3. __________________________ capital = ____________ I know and ____________ knows me
4. __________________________ capital = ____________ knows that I know what I know
My value will not be determined by showing others that I can do what they can. It will be based on what I can do that others ________________________________________ do.
My ________________________________________ may not matter, so get a _____________________________________ in myself.
__________________________________ in the classroom, but ______________________________ as much as I can outside of it.
I am buying _______________________________________________, not just an __________________________________________.This is an _________________________________________ in my dream, not the ___________________________________ of a job.
Passions Interest
___________________________________ practice ___________________________________ play
___________________________________ time ___________________________________ time
___________________________________-oriented ___________________________________-based
